ive decided to wait it out a few months and buy the mecha properly either when theyre reduced to clear or the korean ones are released. Im going to have to replace my kyoryujin and pteraidenoh for ones with unbroken clips anyway and dropped plezuoh on a trade. Bragigas looks cool, but im not sure im totally sold on the toy just yet.

He really is a big clunky bastard and i admire that, my favourite mecha is still saidaioh, hes got that whole chunky thing going on

I love him so much, but I think I might wait and get him early next year from Mandarake. I'm going on a month long holiday to America in 33 days, so it might be a bad idea to buy something so big so soon to my holiday.

The HLJ Preorder that I literally placed the DAY THEY OPENED for Bragigas, now says DISCONTINUED?!?

:mad:

Are you fucking kidding me? This is why they're a joke. Why they are 100% unreliable and why I refuse to use them. HLJ is a bunch of morons who apparently don't know how to figure out how many toys they're gonna get, ever. This is utter bullshit.

I agree, it really is bullshit. HLJ Preorder Roulette at its finest.

I wonder how many they got in. CSToys got 12 and HLJ is a much larger business. You would like to think they would get something like 100 in.

Mandarake it is

Mandarake indeed. Can't believe this is the kind of business practice that HLJ thinks works.

What really bothers me isn't that they didn't get enough to fill preorders, use to it buy now. I am annoyed as I was looking forward to it. But what bothers me is that it goes straight to discontinued.

I think is was the beast battery gimmick that screwed the minipla this year. I hope this is not a new standard for the candy toys.

Not cool. Not cool at all.

BigBadToyStore then?

I thought that BBTS would be too expensive but then seeing how big his box is and what it must weigh, it's going to cost at least that much to ship EMS from japan.

I wonder how long it will take for BBTS to get theirs. It seems like Bandai didn't make enough.

Definitely, it's the arms that let them down the most. Hopefully all will be well again next year.
